I just checked the foursquare app on my phone and it looks just like any of the previous offers like harvey nicks, tesco etc. Just check in, load to your synced card and spend Ł50 in one transaction. Get Ł15 back.

Happy with this offer. Ł45 of free petrol across my 3 cards here I come!

Is that just the online travel service? I ended up booking over the phone (after major problems trying to register for the 5k promo despite being targeted!) and at the end of the booking he said there 'may or may not' be a Ł4.50 CC fee charged by BA. Rather stupidly he couldn't confirm one way or the other. Initially the charge was showing in pending transactions without the Ł4.50 but then when it moved to being a full transaction it DID include a Ł4.50 CC fee. It also showed as being a payment direct to BA rather than to Amex travel - is that how they normally post?

Online there was no charge and when you do it online the charge goes to Amex travel, not to the airline.

Thanks, that's helpful - yet another reason to avoid calling Amex travel on the phone then from the sounds of it! This transaction didn't post with triple MR either (although they manually credited the triple points). Good to know re online transactions not having CC fee.

They sometimes they don't show if you just look for the specials. Expand the search area and then just search for shell. Should come up.

Works for my local shell!

I wonder if this is like the last time where you could check in to a different branch but still get the cashback for ones that weren't coming up.

eg: GAP Brent Cross wasn't coming up but I checked into GAP westfield and still got the cashback after using Brent Cross.

You can pretty much check into anyone and redeem and use it another one.
